Anonymous SubmissionsWe prefer that you not remain anonymous and use your real name.

If you are writing about previously documented issues, we would need a fresh perspective on the same. Your opinion matters most.

TopicsWe have a soft spot for emerging segments in the industry, particularly Indic languages, location based services, new modes of advertising, mobile Internet and applications insights, digital payments, among others. But that doesn’t mean we’re limited to them.LengthThere is no strict guideline, but we would prefer no less than 400 words, and no more than 1000 words in length. Please try to be concise. Articles longer than 1000 words may be split into multiple parts, or edited to conform to the limit
